The Three, often referred to as The Fates are a trio of goddesses consisting of the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone.
History[]
Summoned by Dream[]
The Fates were summoned by Dream, who they were initially reluctant to help, referring to a time when he "helped" them with Circe. However, considering his offerings, including the snake, which one of the ladies consumed, they agreed to answer three questions. First, Dream asked about his sand pouch, which they revealed was sold in London to a magic user named Johanna Constantine, a relative of someone Dream knew 300 years ago. In his second question, he asked what happened to his helm, and they revealed that it was traded away to a demon for the Amulet of Protection. For his final question, he asked about his ruby, which was passed from a mother to a son.[1]
John's future[]
The Fates found John Dee in a diner, surrounded by bodies of innocent people. John inquired about his future, though they claimed he had no future. It was bound by walls and guards and the sour smell of madness. Additionally, they revealed that he'd stolen some of Dream's power and that he would take all of it before crushing the Dream Lord's life in his hands.[2]
Warning Rose[]
The Fates located Rose Walker in London and cautioned her to beware of dreams, houses, and The Corinthian. They also could've told her about Jed and Morpheus, but she failed to ask the correct questions.[3]
Advising Calliope[]
When their daughter Calliope begged for their help after having been acquired by Richard Madoc, they explained that they could not help; she was lawfully bound and there were too few of the old powers who were willing or able to meddle in mortal affairs, as many had died, except the Endless. The Fates recalled that the Dream King and Calliope were close at one point, though they did not part on the best of terms, despite the fact that she did bear his child. Calliope replied that she would never accept the Dream King's help and that he wouldn't help her after what she did to him, but the Fates revealed to her that he too had been imprisoned by mortals and that her prayers had been wasted. Though apologetic, there was nothing The Fates could do to help.[4]
